    2 out of 3 monkeys always choose USX! :biggrin_25522:

    Prime has the easiest tuition repayment plan, and the best training of the 3.

    If you don't mind my asking, who do you currently drive for?
    I live in your area and know a hand full of tow drivers.

    We think its pretty good - you'll get much more wheel time than I did going to a third-party school. I felt that the guys who were PSD students were quite a way ahead of me when I started as an inexperienced CDL holder.

    Once you are solo-qualified, you start at 33cpm in the reefer division. Its more for flatbed and tankers reflecting the lower mileage totals they get. Bigdog85 posted accurate numbers for a fella with about a year under his belt. You'll get around 2600 to 3200 miles a week solo on the company side.

    After I finish my training and get on the road, my wife will go and get her CDL. Is Prime a good company to Team Drive for? Pay pretty good? Good miles?

    We have a lot of high-tenure drivers at Prime - I don't hear many complaints from them. I've mostly driven solo myself, but teams do well here. You might want to hit up U2_Exit or Sazook about that... they do more teaming than I have.
